<A NAME="TI321"></A><p>To define a connection through the ODBC interface, you must
create a database profile by supplying values for at least the basic
connection parameters in the Database Profile Setup - ODBC dialog
box. You can then select this profile at any time to connect to
your data source in the development environment.</p>
